ÍNSULA was born by the sea — a creation of synergy, sisterhood, and soul. Two island creatures, who shared sunsets and hikes and also the determination to live life in a conscious way. And always connected to nature.
Hosting holistic women’s retreats in IBIZA, we welcome wild-hearted, sensitive and creative souls journey inward through body-mind-soul experiences.
At ÍNSULA, we collaborate with other island sisters who join us in creating this retreat adventure — each bringing their unique gifts to make the experience whole.
I’m Patricia, and I hold the space for ÍNSULA to become a soulful fulfilling experience.
I am a photographer and bodyworker (using Myofascial Energetic Release – MER massage) born and raised by the sea in IBIZA.
This retreat captures the essence of everything I love in life: human connection, shared rituals, nourishing food, adventurous hikes, silence, dance, creativity…
The sun is our main character. The sea, our favorite stage.
I’m endlessly fascinated by wild nature and raw beauty, and I find joy in the little things.
I live between IBIZA and BERLIN — two “islands” I’ve shared my heart with for many years now.
Traveling the world has shaped me deeply. It still does. I seek contrast and follow my intuition. In each ÍNSULA retreat, I care for the space, the energy, and the women who feel called to join us on this transformative journey. I’m deeply grateful for their presence, their trust and their truth.
In this retreat I share what I learn and discover along my life path. It is a space to grow, to feel, to soften, and to come back to what really matters.
What our sisters say about ÍNSULA?
· ”The Insula experience is one I will cherish forever. Being able to go deep into my personal wishes and desires for clarity and motivation was my personal need. It gave me a chance to see my life in a different way.
Staying on a healthy schedule every day with exercise and a healthy diet made it helpful to come home and stay in the mindset. I can’t wait to go back and hopefully have some friends join too.” Nora
· ”It’s been three months since the retreat in Ibiza in May, and I still think about it every day. I would pay to relive just one moment of that wonderful experience. It felt like living in a movie, every moment was truly amazing and indescribable. I shared and bonded a lot with my housemates; they were all beautiful souls!
I cried a lot during those days because I brought out many things about myself, and I experienced truly emotional and profound moments. The villa we stayed in was wonderful; I remember every detail. The yoga classes by the pool in the morning were one of my favorite moments. We did a lot of fun and introspective activities, I ate heartily and savored every moment, and I’ve decided that from now on, I want to live like that 🙂
I hope to have the opportunity to attend another retreat soon with Alessia and Patricia!” Ari
· ”I do a lot of solo retreats but it was my first time to try it with a group of women. It turned out to be a refreshing and wonderful experience!
To be on an island full of female energy and to be with like-minded women made me feel alive and connected with myself. The activities in the retreat allowed me to connect to my body, mind, and spirit. Just being on the beautiful island of Ibiza already calmed and ignited my senses. Physical activities like kayaking and hiking empowered me and made me believe in my strength.
The delicious food nurtured my body while the yoga and breathing exercises soothed my mind and spirit. Two activities that were new to me, the smoke ritual and biodanza made me vulnerable in a good way and gave me a lot of deep insights.
More importantly, seeing myself reflected in the women in the group revealed many things about myself and my connection to others and the world. I am so grateful to be part of the first Insula retreats and i wish many more would experience it!” Lei
· ”The Insula retreat was just what I was looking for – without actually knowing what I was looking for. Beautiful villa, a great variety of activities and lovely people to do them with. A wonderful way to experience Ibiza and yourself!” Anna
· “It was just amazing! Very thoughtful & loving organisation – with activities & location a perfect experience.” Zorah
· ”One of the most beautiful experiences of my life, full of emotions to be repeated a thousand times. Thank you.” Vale
· “I’m continuing on my journey of inner peace, resilience and self love. I loved everything about ÍNSULA. Every single day was a highlight for me ! It touched me deeply and I will forever carry this experience and beautiful memories in my heart.
I loved the meditation sessions with Patricia in the mornings. I’d love to have a few more during the day too, please!
My intention was to connect to my inner self and this experience was so much MORE! I’m so grateful for discovering this beautiful retreat. It gave me so much ! I will be back for sure.” Martsie
· “I’m still on the journey of making more room for my needs, inspiration and my creative spark – but with a strong intention!
I have so many highlights! My faves were the meditation routine, the yoga class with the 5 rhythm dance, yoga nidra and soundbath, the cyanotype, map of the soul workshop and the big hike with our dinner on the cliffs and discovering the amazing underwater world – just wow! You have it already. THANK YOU” Jo.
